Jul 5, 2018

A lot happened this past June in the headlines, so much so that you might not remember everything with how quickly news develops and takes over day to day. What were the big news stories? What did POTUS Trump do or say this time? I have all those answers for you as well as a recap right here for the first month of summer, June!

Entire Month of June

Show Talked About POTUS TRUMP: 50%

Show Talked Without Trump: 50%

This past month, as you can tell, was evenly divided where half the time we talked about what Trump said or did and the other we were covering breaking news, local stories, society/culture stories, or other politics that surprisingly Trump wasn't directly involved with (yet anyway).

Week 1 Big Topics were:
